Something that was said in Merchants of Cool hit me today– it said that the midriff personality encourages young women to flaunt their sexuality even when they do not understand it. I see this all the time with junior high girls. Tonight, for example, I asked some junior highers what they wanted to be when they grew up, and their first answers were “stripper,” or “sexy soccer mom.” They do not understand sexuality, and yet want it as part of their identity.
